The Slot field appears grey because the slot is automatically 0 for the 1734-AENT adapter.

IMPORTANT

The chassis size equals 1 for the adapter plus the number of POINT I/O modules installed (physically present on the POINT I/O backplane).

Comm Format choices include:

None = the adapter makes a direct connection to each of the modules referenced by the data.

Rack optimization = digital I/O data is collected into a rack image. This does not include analog or specialty I/O modules.

Listen only - rack optimization = read or verify data only, but does not control the modules (when you have multiple controllers - one controller is used to control and the other controllers are used to monitor).

5.Choose Rack Optimization as Comm Format, because we are making a mixed connection that includes both a direct connection and rack-optimized connection.

6.Click OK.
